No one except putrid brained rednecks - with whom he has much in common - will continue supporting him. When he starts losing support among those who are still compos mentis he will be forced to be less aggravating hoping for a rebound but it'll be too late. Trust rarely returns to its place of origin.

So sorry.
Doesn’t wash.
Sounds like a fantasy.
Urbane native New Yorkers are not rednecks, and John Wayne wasn’t a cowboy.
Hi Bill. I think that ideally, the proper woman as president would be the best temper for the United States. The United States is not a colonial power, as was Britain. Then again, probably the Roman Empire was the only colonial power as great as Britain. Just as colonialists would have been in error with biased interpretations of the Romans, so are moderns biased of colonialists.
Realistically, at this point, I think that a woman would be a further devolution from the Constitutional ideal. The writers were the closest to that ideal, and a great number of minds went into alignment because of the truth of the times. The necessities. Anything in alignment is a tremendous force. Recently I was reading about ground energy, and it just boggles the mind. Too much to cognize, actually, and I freely admit to that. And also, the writers were cognizant of the spiritual pitfalls that would doom the experiment … and the circus grows more garish.
I think if Hillary were to be elected, it would be a further devolution into the clown show. And that does not so much speak about Hillary, as to what the system has become. To use a cliché, it’s wayyyy to big. Quite simply, she isn’t up to it. Her time has passed, she is of a past time. Old tactics that are tacky, were also tacky then. But she was young and she was backup for a different version of Hope, from Hope Arkansas. She isn’t the woman for the job.
I think there are women who can do the job, though. They’re out there, right now at this moment. That’s an inference of high probability.
My instinct goes with Trump. He’s a showman, of the times. And like Reagan, I think he is the best for the times. I do not think that he would do the worst, and if he should get elected and do that, then I am terribly wrong. This does not make him good, for in order to not do the worst, I am almost certain that he will have to do bad.
The B that is wayyyy too big will soon be in the hands of madmen. Does not the world see this? What's the distance from England to the source of animosity?
Good to see you are attempting to articulate your own thoughts. - And doing that quite well.
Um,...I think you may want to re-think the articulation you made above...
Trump is older than Hillary.
* If elected Trump would be THE OLDEST President in the entire history of America.
...and he constantly LOOKS TIRED. Plus he looks like a clown with all the make-up he uses. Rather embarrassing when the world sees a man using WAY MORE make-up than his female counterpart. NOT good.
Hillary has soooooo much more solid experience. Both in-front and behind the scenes. I LIKE that. LIKE THAT A LOT.
Trump has literally zero political experience. Anyone that would even consider voting for him would have to put COMPLETE trust in his word.
...so far his words are scattered with outright lies, bigotry, bathroom humor. NOT presidential material.
I'm going to go with someone I can trust - COMPLETELY. Hillary! I know, through her track record, EXACTLY where her interests reside.
Thank you for the opportunity for me to revisit and articulate these fine points here at The PhilosophyNow Forums.
I can tell you've given this a lot of thought, and it's a privilege to part of your thread. Amazing. Do you realize that the people who have always communicated in this way will feel nostalgia about this attachment someday? It is both the ironic and the hip thing to do. I've talked to old timers who look at the youngsters with their electronics and just smile.
Some of those links up there have videos of "presidential." Uhhhh, no thanks.
In one of the videos, Trump has a farmer behind him. In bib overalls. Oh yeah.

You must be confused and/or conditioned.
Nothing of the kind. Time will tell! The U.S. btw is bigger than New York.

I agree.
“The man was indeed a very talented phony. He could convince almost anybody of almost anything -- provided that they were not already knowledgeable about the subject.
“He had once spoken to me very authoritatively about Marxian economics, apparently unaware that I was one of the few people who had read all three volumes of Marx's 'Capital,' and had published articles on Marxian economics in scholarly journals.
“What our glib talker was saying might have seemed impressive to someone who had never read 'Capital,' as most people have not. But it was complete nonsense to me.”
